Well, here is the finished product. 32 megapixel stitch and the detail is incredible even with a (relatively) inferior lens. Bit of a story behind getting the picture to work. Got up at 4:30 this morning to get on location for the post dawn light. I set up, the light is incredible, I shoot for about an hour. At the end of the session just before packing up I wanted to double check if I had enough DOF at f18 to get the windmill sharp so I zoom in and the photos have significant movement. Weird, I'm using a very strong tripod and head (Gitzo 2 + BH-40). I assume that just that frame was bad, shoot it again and pack up. Then it hits me, I forgot to turn the IS off on my 24-105L! Panic! I quickly set up again and take another series just before the sun rises a bit too high.
I get home, the colour is incredible (the IS only showed up every now and again, managed to save most frames). Problem is the frames are incredibly bland in B&W, contrast all wrong. The test photo was taken at midday and looked good, so I race back to the location and do it all over again at 11:30am. Good enough, matching test shots for angle is almost impossible, especially when the real one is stitched from 8 frames!
